<p>who do you think of when you think the of the smartest people of all time. </p>
<p>I'll get you guys started with the obvious ones, I really want to see some people I wouldn't think off the top of my head </p>
<p>obvious answers:
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein</p>
<p>William Sidis</p>
<p>da Vinci. Hands down. His inventions were literally centuries ahead of everyone else.</p>
<p>FWIW- we already had this thread a few months ago.</p>
<p>Leonardo da Vinci; absolutely brilliant.</p>
<p>me obviously</p>
<p>YOU better don’t even try to compete</p>
<p>Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Machiavelli to name a few.</p>
<p>Sidis would have probably trumped all of these guys with his massive IQ; too bad he did not accomplish anything great though.</p>
<p>Well, we’re not talking about who accomplished anything. Just smart people. </p>
<p>If being important were a criteria, I would say Erdos.</p>
<p>da Vinci, Euler, Feynman.</p>
<p>Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie (female scientists FTW), Nikola Tesla, Kato Lomb (google her!)</p>
<p>Kim Peek?!</p>
<p>john von neumann, henri poincaire, randomperson (from CC), tilikum, n’kisi, joe the plumber, trig palin</p>
<p>Ramanujan yeah</p>
<p>grigori perelmen, alan turing</p>
<p>Louis XIV…lmao jk Antoine Lavosier seems like a pretty smart dude to me</p>
<p>whoever invented wheels.</p>
<p>^They were probably independently invented by thousands of different people. Beyond that, I bet some “pre-civilized” societies had wheels or wheel like things.</p>
<p>da Vinci, Euler, Myself, Newton, Schrodinger</p>
<p>^You’re so humble.</p>
<p>Ramanujan. He’s so effing impressive, I start hating myself just thinking about him.</p>
